Actually, I lied. My belly is not big at all. And my games are average as well. I do have big feet though.

Uh... the reason BHG's crew left Firaxis is because they wanted to make an RTS instead of a TBS and the Sidman wouldn't let them...

I would have to believe that we will. Once you have the code, storing the threads do not take up that much server space and if there is an interest in the community then there will probably always be a thread for Big Huge Games for us to discuss what is going on.

Brian Renyolds in an interview with Apolyton said basically they are working on a title that they are not going to announce yet that they expect to release in 2002. Basically, BR seems to understand that it is best to keep your next game guarded until it is getting closer to release date. Otherwise you end up canceling a project and feeling backlash or having the game turn out differently than what you had hyped it up to be.

It is something Firaxis should have done with Dinos and paid a price for that. Hopefully BHG and BR will deliver the goods on whatever game they are creating now.

Brians dropped a few hints - he has said it will follow some themes from his career - since it will be RTS and NOT TBS, presumably that means substantive themes - 4X? History? Environmentalist Sci-fi?

And when asked how to integrate real strategic thinking into an RTS, he said that is almost a content question - quite a tease, huh?

Too much of a tease, IMO. I think BHG already had enough time to say what they have been doing. They could say (or even show! ) something to us, fans!
And before you all (BHG) go on vacations, if you please!

Perhaps a more appropriate name might have been Big Huge Ego.

A quick pop by their site was revealing - they have pictures of about ten employees - 4 of whom have president in their titles.
